It looks like you need a way to execute an action a given number of
times. In pseudo-code, you could do something like:

<xforms:action xxforms:iterate="for $i in 1 to tgroup/@cols return
xxforms:element('dummy')">
    <xforms:insert context="row" origin="xxforms:element('entry')"/>
</xforms:action>

The 1 to tgroup/@cols returns a sequence of (1, 2, 3, 4) if you have 4
columns, and the xxforms:element() creates an element for each one, as
the context for XPath evaluation is expected to be a node.
